Chapter 328 Current Situation of the Ivory Carving Factory
"Zhang...Master..." Chen Jinlong looked at the young man in front of him who was too young, but he was much more famous than himself, and he didn't know what to call him for a moment.
He could never say the word Xiao Zhang.
"No, Team Leader Chen, please don't call me Master Zhang. You are a senior. How dare I call you a master in front of you! You can call me Xiao Zhang or just call me by my name!" Zhang Junping hurriedly stopped him, modestly road.
"Then let me call you Junping!" Master Zhang Chen Jinlong himself felt awkward calling Zhang Junping, so he changed his name by borrowing Zhang Junping's words.
"Well, it's Junping!"
"Junping, I discussed it with my wife, and she supports me. From now on, I will hand over the hundred catties to you!" Chen Jinlong didn't write any more, and directly stated his decision.
The craftsman is so simple, he doesn't know how to take the opportunity to raise conditions, and he is even embarrassed to mention the salary.
"Group Leader Chen," Zhang Junping looked outside the office before whispering again, "Something has changed."
"Changes? What changes?" Chen Jinlong stood up suddenly. He was very afraid that Zhang Junping would tell him that there was an accident and there was no way to support him to complete the research on the restoration of ivory silk technology.
"Oh, Team Leader Chen, don't worry.
That's right, I met our senior leader by accident yesterday. When we were chatting, we talked about this matter. The senior leader hopes to cooperate with the dental carving factory. How to cooperate has not yet been decided yet. "
"Cooperate with our dental carving factory?" Chen Jinlong was a little surprised.
"Yes! This matter has not been finalized yet, Team Leader Chen, please don't spread the word." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Don't worry about that, I'm not the kind of talkative person." Chen Jinlong knew that Zhang Junping's telling this matter was because of his trust in him, so he solemnly assured him.
"Group Leader Chen, can you introduce the situation of the dental carving factory?"
"it is good!"
Chen Jinlong did not shirk, and directly talked about the tooth carving factory, "The tooth carving factory was established after the founding of the People's Republic of China. There were only [-] people when it was established. At that time, it was not a tooth carving factory, but a production team under the jade carving handicraft factory.
At that time, the business of the ivory carving factory was still very good. Our products were very popular and exported to foreign countries. In the 60s, the ivory carving production team had more than 90 workers and generated more than 30 yuan of foreign exchange for the country every year.
At the end of the 60s, the ivory carving production group officially separated from the jade carving handicraft factory and established the ivory carving handicraft factory.
Over the years, our ivory carvers have also created many famous works, the most famous of which is the collective creation of a large-scale ivory sculpture "People's Commune" in 1959. This work is carved from a whole piece of ivory weighing 45 kilograms. With more than 400 figures, it is the first large-scale work in the Shanghai dental carving industry after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In addition, in 1962, the large-scale ivory carving "40 Years of Glory" designed by Master Feng used the natural shape of a 75-kilogram ivory to skillfully carve it into a spring bamboo shoot, symbolizing the vigor and prosperity of the cause led by the Communist Party of China. .
There are more than 1205 figures of different shapes carved in this work, and it took 10 ivory carving artists including me a year to complete the carving.
And "Up and Down the Great River"..." Chen Jinlong said with a sense of pride on his face.
Although what he wanted to know was not these, but Zhang Junping did not interrupt Chen Jinlong's narration, but just listened quietly.
In the more than 30-year history of the ivory carving factory since the ivory carving group started, generations of ivory carving craftsmen rely on their own hands to grow from scratch and grow step by step.
From "Good People's Commune" to "40 Years of Glory", to "Up and Down the River", "Eighteen Arhats Fighting against the Roc", "Jingwei Reclamation", "Conch Girl" and so on, each piece of exquisite tooth carving works are condensed. It is the crystallization of their wisdom and the pride of all the craftsmen in the ivory carving factory.
"The main products of the Ivory Carving Factory are dental chopsticks, cigarette holders, stamps, combs, grates, fan bones and fan handles, etc.
In addition, there are three major blocks: carving, figure carving and antique. By the 70s, the ivory carving factory could create nearly one million foreign exchange for the country every year. "Chen Jinlong continued to tell the history of the dental carving factory.
"Ah! Since the "Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora" explicitly banned ivory trade in 75, overseas orders for ivory carving factories have decreased.
In the past, it was good. With the support of the state, the production of the ivory carving factory was not affected. If the overseas sales decreased, it would be sold domestically.
However, since the reform and opening up, the country has gradually opened up the market, and the planned orders have gradually decreased, and a large number of products produced by the dental carving factory are backlogged in the warehouse.
Don't be afraid of your jokes, the dental carving factory has not paid wages for half a year, and even last year's wages were only paid 50.00%. "
Listening to Chen Jinlong's sad narration, Zhang Junping sighed secretly.
It really happened that the house was leaking and it was raining all night. The dental carving factory was really out of luck.
But, if you think about it carefully, is it really all due to bad luck?Or should the country not engage in reform and opening up?
Not carrying out reform and opening up is bound to be a dead end, and the seclusion of the Qing Dynasty has proved that this road will not work.
During the reform and opening up, many state-owned enterprises like ivory carving factories eventually died due to various problems.
However, there are also many state-owned enterprises that seized the historical opportunity and rose to become one of the world's top [-] enterprises.
"Group Leader Chen, can you tell me about the current management of Yadiao? What's their situation?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
That's what he needs to know most.
"The old factory manager retired last year, and the new factory manager, surnamed Guo, was transferred from the jade carving factory, a very courageous leader.
Because the secretary is going to retire at the end of this year, the factory director Guo is currently responsible for the work of the dental carving factory. "
The Chinese language is extensive and profound, and an ordinary sentence can contain several meanings.
Chen Jinlong said on the surface that the new director Guo is very courageous, but in fact he told Zhang Junping that the director Guo is very strong.
Combined with the current situation of the ivory carving factory, the wages were in arrears for half a year. Although there are historical reasons, the new factory manager has a strong personality. After more than a year, the situation of the ivory carving factory has not improved, but has become more difficult.This shows that Director Guo is a person with high eyesight and low hands.
He was able to preside over the work when he first arrived. Of course, there was a reason why the secretary was about to retire, but more because of his strong background, the overwhelmed secretary had to back down.
After listening to Chen Jinlong's introduction, Zhang Junping drew a circle for Director Guo in his heart.
Of course, Zhang Junping would not give director Guo a cross because of what Chen Jinlong said.
If you listen to it, you will know that Chen Jinlong's words can only be used as a reference, and you need to inquire more about the specifics.
Chen Jinlong continued to introduce: "The deputy factory director in charge of production of the dental carving factory is Mr. Feng. Although Mr. Feng is in charge of production, he mainly focuses on art design..."
